Intimate Nature - Paperback
by Linda Hogan (Author), Deena Metzger (Author), Brenda Peterson (Author)
"This remarkable group of women have narrated their personal experiences with animals--what they have learned and how it has transformed their lives."--Common Boundary
"A celebration of compassion . . . Women are opening new ways of communicating with and understanding the animal world."--The Seattle Times
Though women have long felt kinship with animals, in the past they seldom participated in the study of them. Now, as more women make animals the subject of their investigations, significant new ideas are emerging--based on the premise that animals are honored co-sharers of the earth.
